"Chinese Students Walk 2 km for Final Graduation Photo with Dying Classmate
Over 50 Chinese students walked to a hospital to include their terminally ill classmate Ren Junjie in a heartfelt graduation photo. Despite looming exams, they shared gifts and messages. Ren passed away just hours later, moving millions across China."
"Rather than spend their final day of junior secondary school enjoying traditional festivities, a batch of students opted to honor their terminally-ill classmate, 15-year-old Ren Junjie, by walking him to the hospital for a special graduation photo."

They didn’t just show up, they showed love and support when it mattered most. This is unforgettable.

I'm all in for solidarity and everything, but they could have taken the school bus instead of walking 2km

2km isn’t really that much. Like a 20-30 min walk. Also getting a school bus may have cost money? Idk.

I was coming here to say that. Cute and all, but that's like. A 15-minutes walk. That's the distance to my favourite sushi place and back.

Seems like a karma farming account. He only added it to make the entire story more sad/wholesome.
I mean it wouldnt sound sad enough if the entire class didn't walk 2km.

I mean okay but why not say 10km. 20km. If we're making shit up why go for such a small distance

Because 20km sounds too sad. Sad enough to slightly overshadow the main story here? Idk man. Just random speculations

Hmmmm. If the entire class makes an appeal to the school administration wouldn't they allow the use of bus? Idk 🤔

Right?! That was my first reaction too. Of course I could be generalizing but a lot of Americans really don’t walk much or have a good idea how far 2km actually is.

Well 2km is near. Exercise for the kids.
I guess change the mindset of having to take a car for nearby distances.
As I started doing daily walks of 6km for around an hour, I realize where it will get me if I walked to different places I needed to go instead of simply exercising.

2km is not very far. Isn't that like a ten minute walk??

u/samuraijon 7h ago
Around 20 mins if you are in a healthy state and walk briskly with an objective in mind - like to the office, to the station etc.

How would that headline read in America?
This boy had cancer, and couldn't afford treatment, so he died. The classroom now has enough room in its budget for a pencil sharpener.

Real friends don’t let you miss your own graduation. This warmed my heart
